COMMERCIAL  FERTILIZERS 

By  P.  L.  HlBBARD. 

This  bulletin  comprises  the  results  of  the  fertilizer  inspection  work 
of  the  California  Fertilizer  Control  for  the  fiscal  year  ending  June  30, 
1915. 

SUMMARY. 

Fertilizers  are  made  for  the  purpose  of  furnishing  plant  food.  The 
farmer  should  buy  such  fertilizers  as  furnish  the  most  plant  food  for 
the  money,  quality  considered.  Simple  fertilizers  furnish  plant  food 
cheaper  than  mixed  complete  fertilizers.  One  dollar's  worth  of  a 
high-grade  complete  fertilizer  furnishes  plant  food  worth  88  cents. 
One  dollar's  worth  of  low-grade  complete  fertilizer  furnishes  plant 
food  worth  only  59  cents. 

Some  manufacturers  uphold  their  guarantees  better  than  others. 
By  consulting  this  bulletin  the  farmer  can  learn  which  was  most 
dependable  last  year,  therefore  most  likely  to  be  reliable  in  future. 

A  good  degree  of  fineness  is  essential  to  a  good  fertilizer.  The 
farmer  will  serve  his  own  interests  best  by  insisting  on  having  finely 
ground  fertilizers. 

The  law  requires  fertilizer  packages  to  be  properly  labeled.  If  the 
consumer  accepts  improperly  labeled  goods,  he  may  thereby  lose  the 
protection  of  the  Fertilizer  Control. 

Selling  fertilizers  on  basis  of  Station  Analysis  may  be  an  advantage 
to  both  buyer  and  seller.  Some  manufacturers  may  abuse  this  privi- 
lege, in  consequence  the  Fertilizer  Control  will  refuse  to  make  such 
analyses  for  such  companies. 

Fertilizer  valuations  are  made  for  the  purpose  of  affording  a  means 
of  comparison  of  different  brands.  Properly  used,  they  enable  the 
farmer  to  buy  at  lowest  cost  that  fertilizer  which  will  best  supply  his 
needs.  These  valuations  do  not  show  what  should  be  the  selling 
price  of  fertilizers. 

Less  than  two-fifths  of  the  number  of  brands  of  fertilizers  offered 
by  the  manufacturer  are  actually  bought  by  farmers.  The  other 
three-fifths  seem  to  be  superfluous. 

Cost  of  Plant  Food. 
The  purpose  of  a  fertilizer  is  to  furnish  plant  food.  The  farmer 
wishes  to  obtain  his  plant  food  at  the  lowest  cost  consistent  with  the 
desired  quality.  The  costs  of  mixing,  sacking,  freighting,  selling,  etc., 
are  the  same  whether  a  ton  of  fertilizer  contains  200  or  600  pounds 
of  plant  food.     Hence  it  is  evident  that  100  pounds  of  plant  food  in  a 


52  UNIVERSITY   OF    CALIFORNIA — EXPERIMENT    STATION. 

high-grade  fertilizer  will  cost  less  than  in  a  low-grade  material  on 
account  of  the  smaller  amount  of  valueless  material  which  must  be 
handled  in  the  high-grade  goods.  A  high-grade  complete  fertilizer  may 
contain  as  much  as  600  pounds  of  plant  food  in  a  ton,  while  some  low- 
grade  goods  will  not  carry  more  than  200  pounds  in  one  ton.  Therefore 
it  seems  plain  that  the  farmer  serves  himself  best  by  buying  only  high- 
grade  goods. 

In  this  connection  it  is  important  to  observe  that  where  fertilizers  are 
sold  on  the  unit  basis  the  buyer  is  much  more  likely  to  receive  good  value 
for  his  money  than  if  the  goods  are  sold  by  the  ton.  In  the  latter  case, 
the  farmer  buys  a  ton  of  fertilizer  which  may  consist  of  almost  any- 
thing. But  if  he  buys  by  the  unit  he  pays  for  the  number  of  pounds  of 
nitrogen  (N),  phosphoric  acid  (P205),  or  potash  (K20)  shown  to  be 
present  by  analysis  and  the  non-plant  food,  commonly  known  as 
"filler,"  is  not  taken  into  account.  This  statement  is  not  literally 
correct,  for  it  is  usually  true  that  the  price  per  unit  of  plant  food  is 
lower  in  high-grade  than  in  low-grade  goods. 

The  following  table  has  been  prepared  to  show  the  variation  in  price 
of  plant  food  in  various  kinds  and  grades  of  fertilizers.  In  every  case 
it  will  be  observed  that  in  complete  fertilizers  the  higher  the  price  per 
ton  the  lower  is  the  cost  per  pound  of  plant  food,  i.  e.,  nitrogen,  phos- 
phoric acid,  or  potash.  The  table  also  shows  the  relative  cost  of  plant 
food  in  the  various  "simples"  as  they  are  called;  meaning  the  simple 
or  primary  substances  of  which  complete  fertilizers  are  composed,  such 
as  blood,  superphosphate,  sulfate  of  potash,  each  of  which  contains 
only  one  kind  of  plant  food. 

Caution.  It  is  very  necessary  to  realize  that  commercial  cost  of 
plant  food  and  agricultural  availability  of  this  same  plant  food  are  not 
necessarily  related  and  frequently  have  no  connection  with  each  other. 
Nitrogen  in  blood  costs  much  more  than  in  nitrate  of  soda,  but  is  really 
less  available  as  plant  food;  although  on  account  of  other  effects  of 
blood,  nitrogen  in  that  form  may  sometimes  be  agriculturally  more 
desirable.  Also  a  mixture,  the  cost  of  which  comes  chiefly  from  phos- 
phoric acid,  will  sell  much  cheaper  per  ton  than  one  with  a  high  per- 
centage of  nitrogen,  yet  the  former  may  be  much  more  valuable  to  the 
farmer  for  certain  crops  and  conditions. 

The  choice  of  the  kind  of  plant  food  to  be  purchased  should  be  based 
on  a  knowledge  of  the  needs  of  the  particular  crop  and  soil  to  be 
treated.  Only  after  this  is  decided  should  the  cost  of  the  fertilizer  be 
considered,  when  the  particular  kind  of  fertilizer  supplying  the  ingredi- 
ent desired  should  be  selected  according  to  its  agricultural  availability 
and  cost. 


[Bulletin  259]  commercial  fertilizers.  53 

In  order  to  show  the  advantage  of  buying  high-grade  goods  the  case 
may  be  stated  as  follows :  One  dollar  buys  88  cents  worth  of  plant  food 
in  a  high-grade  fertilizer,  76  cents  worth  in  medium-grade  and  only 
59  cents  worth  in  low-grade  goods.  Or  it  may  be  said  that  the  cost  of 
placing  a  dollar's  worth  of  plant  food  in  the  hands  of  the  farmer  is 
12  cents  for  high-grade  goods,  24  cents  for  medium-grade  goods,  and 
41  cents  in  low-grade  goods. 

The  figures  used  in  compiling  these  tables  are  taken  from  records  of 
sales  actually  made  to  farmers  in  California  during  1913-14.  The 
number  of  samples  represented  were  4,  having  a  valuation  over  $35.00 
per  ton,  34  between  $25.00  and  $35.00  per  ton,  and  18  sold  for  less  than 
$25.00  per  ton. 

It  is  a  matter  of  record  that  tankage  and  sometimes  other  simples 
have  been  sold  at  prices  below  the  Station  valuation,  so  that  if  all  sales 
were  included  in  the  tabulation  the  average  selling  price  of  nitrogen 
and  phosphoric  acid  in  tankage  would  be  still  closer  to  the  Station 
valuation  than  those  given  in  the  table.

Maintenance  of  Guarantees. 

Every  manufacturer  is  required  by  law  to  guarantee  the  percentage 
of  nitrogen,  phosphoric  acid  and  potash  in  the  fertilizers  he  sells. 
Owing  to  difficulties  of  sampling  and  analysis  the  law  permits  a  mini- 
mum deficiency  of  0.25%  nitrogen,  1.00%  phosphoric  acid,  0.50% 
potash  from  the  figures  guaranteed.  Greater  deficiencies  than  these 
are  regarded  as  infractions  of  the  law,  for  which  the  manufacturer 
may  be  prosecuted  and  fined.  Such  deficiencies  are  indicated  in  the 
report  of  analyses  in  black  face  type. 

Some  manufacturers  uphold  their  guarantees  better  than  others. 
The  following  table  is  a  condensed  report  of  the  deficiencies  found  in 
the  main  table  of  analyses.  It  summarizes  the  work  done  in  this 
laboratory  on  each  manufacturer's  goods.  The  columns  headed 
Deficiencies — per  cent  of  possible,  may  be  used  for  comparison  of  the 
various  companies  as  to  reliability  or  to  probability  of  meeting  their 
guarantees.  The  other  columns  are  necessary  to  show  how  these  figures 
were  obtained.  In  cases  where  very  few  analyses  are  reported  for  a 
manufacturer,  the  figures  should  be  taken  with  caution,  as  perhaps  not 
properly  representative.  When  several  samples  of  one  manufacturer's 
goods  were  analyzed  the  figures  may  be  accepted  as  probably  a  fair 
indication  of  the  reliability  of  his  guarantee. 

To  illustrate,  take  the  first  name  on  the  list.  Of  this  company 's  goods 
15  brands  represented  by  24  samples  were  analyzed.  On  these  24 
samples  there  were  67  guarantees,  of  which  3  were  deficient,  or  4.5% 
of  the  whole.  In  valuation  none  were  deficient.  This  shows  that  a 
deficiency  in  one  constituent  was  balanced  by  an  excess  of  another  so 
that  the  buyer  received  full  commercial  value  in  every  case  as  guaran- 
teed by  the  manufacturer,  although  the  plant  food  furnished  was  not 
exactly  what  was  promised. 

In  general,  manufacturers  have  more  than  maintained  their  guaran- 
tees, so  that  an  average  of  all  the  analyses  would  show  a  substantial 
increase  over  the  amount  guaranteed. 

This  table  is  a  condensed  statement  of  the  performances  of  each 
company  during  the  fiscal  year  1914-15 ;  and  as  such  may  be  an  indica- 
tion of  what  may  be  expected  in  the  future.  A  manufacturer  who 
maintained  his  guarantees  well  last  year  will  probably  do  the  same  this 
next  year.

Mechanical  Condition  of  Fertilizers. 

A  good  degree  of  fineness  is  one  of  the  essential  qualities  of  a  good 
fertilizer.  It  may  be  assumed  as  generally  true  that  the  finer  the 
material  the  higher  the  availability,  hence  "the  consumer  should  insist 
on  having  finely  ground  fertilizers.  Unfortunately  some  manufacturers 
are  at  times  careless  in  regard  to  the  fineness  of  their  goads.  The 
insistent  demand  of  the  consumer  is  the  most  effective  means  of  cor- 
recting such  carelessness. 

Besides  the  low  agricultural  availability  and  the  difficulty  in  apply- 
ing coarse  fertilizers  it  is  almost  impossible  to  obtain  a  satisfactorily 
representative  sample  of  such  goods  for  analysis.  This  is  a  prolific

phosphoric  acid.  A  mixture  of  coarse  bone  meal  with  sulfate  of  potash 
will  separate  into  coarse  bone  at  the  top  and  excess  of  potash  at  the 
bottom. 

One  of  the  chief  reasons  for  the  existence  of  the  fertilizer  manu- 
facturer is  that  he  is  better  prepared  than  the  farmer  to  grind  and 
mix  the  goods  he  sells,  and  the  farmer  should  insist  that  he  do  it  well. 

Caution  in  Regard  to  Labeling  Fertilizer  Packages. 
The  law  expressly  states  that  every  package  of  fertilizer  shall  be 
accompanied  by  a  plainly  printed  label  giving  the  brand  name,  analysis 
and  source  of  the  material  in  the  package.  This  requirement  is  not 
satisfactorily  met  by  some  manufacturers  and  dealers.  Farmers  are 
hereby  cautioned  that  if  they  buy  improperly  labeled  fertilizer  or  goods 
not  sold  by  regularly  registered  dealers  or  their  authorized  agents,  they 
can  not  claim  the  protection  afforded  by  the  Fertilizer  Control.  Any 
dealer  who  does  not  observe  the  law  is  liable  to  prosecution  and  fine. 

Station  Analyses. 

Commercial  Fertilizers,  Bulletin  179,  p.  60,  states  that  some  farmers 
bought  their  fertilizer  subject  to  settlement  on  the  basis  of  Fertilizer 
Control  analysis,  and  adds  that  this  office  "will  be  glad  to  render 
prompt  service  in  the  matter  of  such  analysis." 

The  writer  of  that  statement  probably  had  no  expectation  that  the 
practice  thus  begun  would  soon  grow  to  the  proportions  it  has  reached 
this  year.  In  this  practice  the  financial  interests  of  both  buyer  and 
seller  are  well  and  equally  guarded,  so  there  is  no  complaint  from 
either.  But  out  of  this  method  of  settlement  has  arisen  another 
difficulty  which  now  requires  consideration. 

It  may  be  assumed  that  if  the  Fertilizer  Control  makes  such  analyses 
for  one  person  it  should  make  them  for  any  other  on  demand,  and  so 
may  be  called  upon  to  make  them  for  all.  There  is  no  provision  in  the 
law  for  such  analyses,  and  if  the  practice  is  followed  to  its  logical  end  it 
removes  from  the  manufacturer  the  need  of  giving  a  guarantee  with 
any  of  his  goods.  The  whole  burden  of  determining  their  value  is 
put  upon  the  Fertilizer  Control.  The  manufacturer  may  thus  be 
relieved  of  considerable  trouble  and  expense  in  analyzing  his  goods, 
while  relying  on  the  Fertilizer  Control  to  safeguard  the  interests  of 
the  public.  From  the  fact  that  the  goods  are  not  guaranteed  it  fol- 
lows that  each  purchaser  wants  a  station  analysis,  whereby  the  work 
of  the  Fertilizer  Control  is  greatly  and  unnecessarily  increased  without 
gain  to  the  fertilizer-using  public.  After  the  manufacturer  has  mixed 
and  sampled  a  large  batch  of  fertilizer,  one  analysis  will  serve  for  the 
whole  lot.     But  when  the  batch  is  sold  on  the  basis  of  Station  Analysis 


[Bulletin  259]  commercial  fertilizers.  57 

each  of  several  consumers  may  request  a  separate  analysis  from  the 
Fertilizer  Control,  which  is  thus  overburdened  with  routine  work  with- 
out great  advantage  to  any  one.  More  than  this,  if  selling  on  Station 
Analysis  prevails,  the  consumer  will  have  little  assurance  that  he  is 
getting  the  formula  he  asks  for.  He  pays  a  prearranged  price  for 
such  number  of  pounds  of  nitrogen,  phosphoric  acid,  or  potash  as  the 
analysis  indicates  he  has  received.  But  without  a  guaranteed  analysis 
he  may  get  more  of  one  ingredient  and  less  of  another  than  he  bargained 
for.     He  simply  accepts  what  the  dealer  offers. 

In  view  of  these  facts  it  seems  hardly  desirable  that  the  privilege  of 
selling  on  basis  of  Station  Analysis  should  be  unrestricted.  In  some 
cases  it  may  be  much  to  the  advantage  of  both  manufacturer  and  farmer, 
in  which  cases  the  Fertilizer  Control  may  well  grant  the  favor.  But  if 
no  such  considerable  advantage  is  apparent,  or  if  it  appears  that  the 
manufacturer  is  using  such  privilege  for  the  purpose  of  avoiding  the 
chemical  control  which  would  otherwise  be  necessary  in  his  own  factory, 
then  the  Fertilizer  Control  will  refuse  to  make  such  Station  Analyses. 

Scope  of  Inspection. 

During  the  year  562  samples  of  fertilizers  and  fertilizing  materials 
have  been  received  at  the  laboratory.  Of  this  number  13  were  sent  by 
farmers  under  the  two-dollar  fee  provision,  290  were  taken  by  in- 
spectors from  purchasers'  goods  upon  the  request  of  the  purchasers, 
and  202  were  taken  by  inspectors  from  goods  in  the  hands  of  agents 
and  manufacturers.  On  108  samples*  the  analysis  as  reported  was 
used  as  a  basis  of  settlement  by  mutual  agreement  of  buyer  and  seller. 
No  guaranty  was  required  or  given  with  goods  sold  under  such  agree- 
ment. Fifty-seven  samples  of  a  miscellaneous  nature  are  omitted  from 
the  tables. 

The  following  classification  may  be  made  of  samples  reported  in  this 
bulletin : 

Bat  guano 7 

Blood    74 

Bone  meal . 38 

Complete  fertilizers 158 

Garbage  tankage 5 

Nitrate  of  soda 11 

Rock  phosphate 4 

Sulfate  of  ammonia 4 

Sulfate  of  potash 7 

Superphosphate    6 

Tankage 191 

505 


♦Besides  these  a  considerable  number  of  the  remaining1  purchasers'  analyses  were 
doubtless  used  subsequently  as  a  basis  of  settlement,  but  without  being  reported 
to  this  office.  „

Deficiencies. 

In  the  analyses  of  the  above  samples,  the  following  number  of  de- 
ficiencies greater  than  allowed  by  law  occurred : 

Available  phosphoric  acid   (total  when  available  is  not  guaranteed) 47 

Total  nitrogen 47 

Potash    12 

In  valuation 39 

These  deficiencies  were  found  in  90  samples. 

The  fertilizer  law  allows  a  deficiency  of  0.25  per  cent  in  nitrogen, 
0.50  per  cent  in  potash,  and  1  per  cent  in  available  phosphoric  acid. 

Fertilizer  Valuations, 
The  calculations  of  the  commercial  values  of  the  fertilizers  here 
reported  are  made  on  the  so-called  unit  basis.  Such  calculations 
consist  simply  in  multiplying  the  number  of  per  cent  of  each  ingredient 
by  the  price  per  unit  and  adding  the  products.  The  sum  thus  obtained 
is  the  commercial  value  per  ton  at  the  prices  used.  If  it  is  desired 
to  use  such  a  calculation  for  determining  the  amount  which  should  be 
paid  for  goods,  or  the  rebate  to  which  the  buyer  is  entitled  owing  to 
the  goods  delivered  being  below  the  guaranty,  it  can  only  be  satisfac- 
torily done  if  a  definite  price  per  unit  has  been  agreed  upon  between 
buyer  and  seller.  But  for  the  mere  purpose  of  showing  the  relative 
values  of  goods  to  guaranties,  it  is  not  at  all  necessary  that  the  prices 
adopted  should  be  the  exact  market  prices.  Thus  it  is  that  the  Fertil- 
izer Control  in  attempting  to  show  the  relation  between  values  found 
and  values  claimed,  uses  a  schedule  which  is  admittedly  only  an  ap- 
proximate average  of  market  values.  Owing  to  market  fluctuation, 
differences  in  cost  of  delivery  at  different  points,  and  other  causes,  the 
obtaining  of  true  average  market  prices  is  an  impossibility.  But  if  the 
reader  will  bear  in  mind  the  true  purpose  of  the  valuations  reported, 
these  will  have  served  their  turn  and  he  will  not  be  led  to  assume  that 
the  Experiment  Station  is  dictating  the  prices  at  which  goods  shall  be 
sold.     Valuations  thus  construed  should  serve  two  purposes. 

(a)  To  show  whether  a  certain  fertilizer  is  commercially  worth  its 
cost. 

(b)  As  a  measure  for  comparing  the  commercial  values  of  different 
brands,  thus  enabling  the  buyer  to  select  that  brand  which  will  give  him 
the  greatest  value  for  the  money  he  spends.

Registered  Manufacturers  and  Dealers. 

The  following  manufacturers  and  dealers  in  commercial  fertilizers 
have  obtained  certificates  of  registration  under  the  provisions  of  the 
California  Fertilizer  Law,  for  the  fiscal  year  beginning  July  1,  1914.  A 
list  is  also  given  of  the  brands  of  fertilizers  and  fertilizer  materials 
offered  for  sale  by  them.  According  to  the  sworn  returns  of  dealers 
registered  for  the  fiscal  year  ending  June  30,  1914,  their  entire  sales  in 
the  State  amounted  to  39,471  tons.  Incomplete  returns  for  the  year 
ending  June  30,  1915,  indicate  approximately  32,000  tons. 

No  dealer  or  manufacturer,  except  those  who  have  certificates  of 
registration  from  the  University  of  California,  and  their  authorized 
agents,  can  legally  sell  fertilizers  in  this  State.  No  person  or  company 
has  any  right  to  use  any  registration  number  except  in  connection  with 
the  firm  name  to  which  the  registration  certificate  of  such  number  has 
been  issued ;  and  no  person  or  company  to  whom  a  registration  number 
has  been  assigned  has  any  right  to  give  any  other  person  or  company 
permission  to  use  said  registration  number,  and  any  number  so  used  is 
a  fraud.  No  agent  has  any  right  to  use  his  principal's  registration 
number  in  connection  with  his  own  name. 

The  total  number  of  brands  registered  by  manufacturers  was  353, 
of  which  134  brands,  equal  to  38  per  cent  of  the  total,  were  found  by 

*On  account  of  the  great  fluctuations  in  the  market  the  price  of  potash  here  given 
is  purely  arbitrary.  It  is  double  the  ordinary  price,  but  less  than  half  present  sale 
prices,  which  are  likely  to  be  very  temporary.

inspectors  and  analyzed.  Less  than  two-fifths  of  the  brands  registered 
are  actually  used  by  farmers.  This  perhaps  indicates  that  the  manu- 
facturer hopes  to  increase  sales  by  offering  a  variety  of  brands  pre- 
sumably suitable  for  every  purpose,  and  that  the  farmer  finds  three- 
fifths  of  them  unnecessary.

Report  of  Analyses. 

Available  phosphoric  acid  is  not  determined  in  bone  meal,  tankage, 
and  Thomas  Phosphate  Powder,  unless  requested.  The  fineness  of  these 
materials  is  determined,  fine  and  medium  bone  being  separated  by  a 
sieve  of  50  meshes  to  the  inch ;  tankage  by  a  25-mesh  sieve ;  and  Thomas 
Phosphate  Powder  by  a  100-mesh  sieve. 

Nitrogen  in  ammonium  salts  will,  in  some  cases,  be  found  reported 
when  nitrogen  in  this  form  is  not  guaranteed.  In  some  of  such  cases 
this  form  of  nitrogen  is  produced  by  conversion  of  organic  nitrogen 
during  process  of  manufacture,  and  is  not  to  be  considered  a  deviation 
from  guaranty  of  materials  used.  Guanos  carry  more  or  less  nitrogen 
in  nitrates  and  ammonium  salts,  and  when  any  appreciable  quantity  of 
guano  is  used  the  manufacturer  should  take  into  account  the  fact  that 
some  nitrogen  will  show  as  nitrates  and  ammonium  salts.  The  failure 
to  take  this  into  consideration  may  perhaps  account  for  the  appearance 
of  these  forms  of  nitrogen  in  some  samples  in  which  only  organic 
nitrogen  was  guaranteed. 

The  percentage  of  chlorin  is  given  when  it  exceeds  0.50  per  cent. 
It  is  a  matter  of  only  technical  interest  whether  chlorin  present  is  from 
muriate  of  potash,  kainit,  or  from  common  salt  that  may  be  in  some  of 
the  materials  used.  If  a  manufacturer  uses  sulfate  of  potash  and  uses 
a  tankage  with  it  containing  a  large  amount  of  chlorin,  from  a  practical 
standpoint  he  has  lowered  the  grade  of  his  fertilizer  just  as  much  as  if 
he  had  used  muriate  of  potash  instead  of  sulfate  of  potash.  Chlorin 
from  all  other  sources  is  as  objectionable  as  from  muriate  of  potash. 
However,  if  muriate  of  potash  is  found  when  sulfate  is  guaranteed,  the 
fact  will  be  published. 

The  following  abbreviations  are  used  in  the  tables:  Bl  =  blood, 
Bu  =  bone,  Fs  =  fish,  G  =  guano,  H  =  hoof,  Min.  Phos.  =  mineral 
phosphate,  Super  —  superphosphates,  T  =  tankage,  CSM  =  cotton  seed 
meal. 

Guarantees  are  entered  in  italics.  Deficiencies  greater  than  allowed 
by  law  are  entered  in  bold  type.
